Salary + cost of living?

Hi Sammy

Welcome to Expat.com

I invite you to have a look at the topics on the Cost of living in Bahrain section, you might find some interesting information.

Thanks,

Hi
I think you'll be quite comfortable with that salary here. When you say inclusive, does that mean your housing allowance is included in that? If so, then it will depend a lot on where you choose to live and in what type of accommodation. It can vary widely and is pretty expensive.

Not sure of any schools that will follow the NZ curriculum, but the Multinational School Bahrain follows the aussie curriculum and has quite a few kiwi staff - which is probably about as close as you'll get

Hi Vikpaw,

Thanks for your reply,

Yes, accommodation allowance is inclusive in the salary. I'm hoping to spend around 700BD for an apartment in a nicer area?

Cheers,
Sammy

This should give you an idea about the cost area wise, i would also recommend that you come down first go around see the places for yourself and then decide on which would be a suitable area for you.
